Quality Engineer

Our city center offices are right beside the back entrance to Pearse St Dart station. We’re close to all major transport links, coffee shops/restaurants/gyms and minutes from Stephen’s Green and the city center.

We have interesting problems to solve, including how students interact with content from our learning platforms, how it impacts learning outcomes, and how to provide data-driven guidance to maximize learner’s potential. Quality Engineering is at the heart of this.
